Indian Spices

Sushi bars are obviously a new concept in India. It is good to have Japanese food, but they are a little particular about their dos and don’t s inside a sushi bar. So it is better to learn some of their manners before you get into a bar.

Firstly, the white towel that your waiter or waitress gives you is only for cleaning your face and not for blowing your nose. If you need a napkin, then feel free to ask for it. You can ask your waitress for whatever you need. But be sure it is not sushi or sashimi. These two are to be ordered to the chef only.

It is normal that you will have a drink while eating sushi, so you can order a beer or sake. If you want, you can ask your chef to join you for a drink. For sushi, you can use your hands if you are not comfortable with chopsticks. But for eating sashimi, it is expected that you will use your chopsticks.

Now here are some tips while using chopsticks. Don’t use the sticks to pull your plate. They are only for eating. Don’t stick them inside your food while not eating. It is considered as bad manners. Keep them on one side. If you have to pass something, then use the other side of your chopsticks to do so.

When you visit a sushi bar, it will be a nice experience for you, but keep these in mind or they may think that you don’t know etiquette.
